Christmas cactus
Today I bought this Christmas cactus to have in our kitchen.
It was a long time ago I bought such a plant. I was curious and looked at Wikipedia to learn a little bit more about this lovely plant.
I copied the text and you can read it here below.
The common holiday cacti (Thanksgiving Cactus, Christmas Cactus, Easter Cactus) comprise several closely related species in the genus Schlumbergera or possibly Hatiora gaertneri, often called Zygocactus in older works.
They are originally forest cacti, growing as epiphytes at elevations between 1000 and 1700 meters (3300 to 5600 feet) above sea level in the Organ Mountains north of Rio de Janeiro in southeast Brazil, South America.
They are called Flor de Maio (May Flower) in Brazil.
